Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.

    Safe Return to Playing Directives A GUIDE FOR CLUBS RETURN TO PLAY – A GUIDE FOR CLUBS PHASE 3 (ROI) / STEP 4 (NI) Sport provides great mental and physical health benefits for our society, and cricket is no exception. However, we all have a duty of care to ensure that our cricket clubs operate within a safe environment. This practical guide for clubs has been developed in consultation with medical experts and in line with both ROI and NI Executive Government Guidelines. It outlines the robust measures Cricket Ireland and the Provincial Unions strongly recommend clubs to implement and maintain to help safeguard all members during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will allow all of us to get back to playing safely, improving the wellbeing of members across Ireland. The guidelines in this document relate to Phase 3 of the Irish Government’s Roadmap for Reopening Society and Step 4 of the Northern Ireland Executive Approach to Decision Making. The key to success will be the collective approach to compliance with the protocols, and there is no obligation for clubs to re-open if they feel they cannot meet their health and safety obligations. Competition should be on an opt-in basis with participants taking personal responsibility to decide whether they are happy to return. As always, follow the Government Guidelines of: Good Hand Hygiene – Respiratory Etiquette – Social Distancing. 1 Return to Play – A Guide for Clubs Safe Return to Playing Directives – A Guide for Clubs Safe every step of the way: There are several risks specific to the sport of Cricket which must be considered alongside the general physical exercise guidance issued by national governments.

  • 2017 Annual Report
    Cricket Scotland Annual Report 2017 Chair’s Report Tony Brian Welcome to Cricket Scotland’s Annual Report for 2017 which I hope will give you a good flavour of all that has been happening in Cricket Scotland and the game in Scotland during what has been another year of good progress in delivery of our strategy. I will only mention the major issues as I see them; colleagues will give more detail in the following sections and I do not want to “steal their thunder”! On the High Performance side the men’s team had some excellent results in 2017 with the highlights being the first wins against Full Member countries (Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe) and qualification for the World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in March 2018. Disappointingly, we did not win the 50 over World Cricket League which would have meant Scotland would have entered the 13 Team ODI League from 2020-2022 with the 12 Full Member nations – something that would have given us 24 guaranteed ODIs against top quality opposition over that period with the ability to sell media and commercial rights. One of our focuses over the next round of the WCL will be to ensure we win that and thus get the right to challenge for entry into the next iteration of the 13 Team ODI league. Our women’s team has made good strides during the year, participating in the 50 over World Cup Qualifier in Sri Lanka in February where they performed well against teams which we all saw on our televisions screens during the very successful Women’s World Cup itself in England in the summer.

Robin Walsh was President from the foundation of the organisation at Stormont in 2007 until he stepped down early in 2013 to take up the Presidency of Cricket Ireland. The CWI are immensely proud that one of our number should be recognised thus and doubly so that Robin filled the role with such dignity and commitment. It turned out to be both a tremendously successful year on the pitch and a historic one off it, and we are fortunate that a man with a trained eye and stylish pen was there to witness it all — and share it with us. Throughout his presidency Robin wrote a regular diary which appeared on the Cricket Ireland website but it clearly deserves a larger audience and a permanent place on the growing shelf of Irish cricketing literature.
